ACC poll roundup

Miami’s next opponent, Florida State (7-0, 5-0 ACC), held at No. 3 in both the AP and coaches poll. This is the first time since 2004 the teams will face each other with both ranked in the top 10 in the AP poll. On Sept. 10, 2004, No. 5 Miami knocked off No. 4 Florida State 16-10 in overtime in the Orange Bowl.

The Hurricanes, by the way, open the week a 21-point underdog to the Seminoles. They closed as a 21-point underdog last season, when they lost 33-20 at home.

After beating Maryland 40-27 on the road, Clemson (7-1, 5-1 ACC) was No. 9 in the AP poll and No. 8 in the coaches poll.

After losing a 13-10 stunner at home to Duke, Virginia Tech (6-2, 3-1 ACC) dropped out of both polls. The Hokies were 14th in the AP poll and 16th in the coaches poll, in which they received 53 votes, the second-most of an unranked team. The Hurricanes host them Nov. 9.

After knocking out Virginia Tech, Duke (6-2, 2-2 ACC) received eight votes in the coaches poll.
